Cute and Easy to make :D
My panda hat that I wore to A-KON 21 in Dallas. Baised on Gaia Online's version. When I was there I saw a ton of Panda Hats, but they where all beanies, and it was really really hot. :/ Poor them.

  • Step 1

    Using the black felt cut out two identical oval shaped pieces, and one triangle piece. T

  • Step 2

    Using the pink felt cut out two identical shapes. I used little flowers, but you could use circles, stars, hearts, ect.

  • Step 3

    Take your pair of black socks and cut out 3 inches from the toe. These will be the ears.

  • Step 4

    Glue/Pin your pink felt on the hat.
    (You could just glue if you wanted to but sewing makes it look better.)

  • Step 5

    Glue/Pin your black felt slightly over the pink felt as shown in pictures.
    (Optional sewing)

  • Step 6

    Glue/Pin your triangle nose in the center.
    (Optional sewing)

  • Step 7

    Take your two ends of the socks and fold them in so it has a polished look. You could iron, but I didn't need to.Than stuff them with the remainder of the sock, so that it's full. Pin together and on to the hat. Sew along the bottom with a tight stitching.

  • Step 8

    Take your two buttons and glue/pin them where you want them on the black felt.
    (Sewing optioinal)

  • Step 9

    TA-DA All Done :D

    Tips/Extras:
    This took me about an hour and a half to sew everything. I pinned it all the night before. I like pins rather than glue, but it's up to you.

    My buttons are a little floppy, but I didn't want my buttons to have holes in them, but they still look great.

    I didn't line the inside with anything, mostly because I didn't have time, but I may do that later if I get the chance.

    You could use different colors, material, funny buttons, ect to make it your own.

    You could add a little mouth too. I personally would add a mouth like this :3, but again it's up to you.

    Enjoy!! <3

This is soo late, I forgot about this site. I found a baseball cap, and cut the bill off. It didn't cut in one piece, so it ended up being thrown away, but I didn't care.

How did you get the bill of the hat off? Or did you find a white hat without one?

My Gaia account name is: Catherine, be sure to tell me something about Cut Out and Keep, or I'll just assume that you randomly added me. (We should talk a bit first, but I love creative people.)
